20 Dec Ready for 2024!
It is almost Christmas, and my small town is made sweet and peaceful with Christmas trees, pretty streetlights, and soft music. I love Christmas!
For me it is the time to go back to the basic! Catching up with friends and family, spending time to cook and play and of course to do nothing, reset and enjoy.
My Christmas list is, like always, filled with art supplies, new sketchbooks and some great books. This year there is a new technique I like to try; the gel plate, where you can make patterns which you transfer from glossy paper on your work paper. I look at many tutorials on YouTube and already collect the best papers to use in this new technique. I hope Santa will be spoiling me this year with the materials to experiment and to make new designs next year.
I am just back from Ibiza just to get some inspiration in art, and I am a bit jealous of the galleries and the art studio’s I see here in this beautiful landscape.
With my backpack full of art supplies, I walk for hours in Ibiza city, climbing over amazing cliffs and enjoy the green hills under the Mediterranean Sea.
To me this is the best way to get inspired. I make my sketches, just get more and more ideas to bring home and to start with my new collection.
This year I just finished a collection of astrology where the Zodiac signs are made with watercolor in combination with paper, paint, and computer images. My collages are growing under my hand, and I cannot wait to make the into home decoration. At the same time, we are working on our new website!
Looking at my 12 astrology designs I realize I am looking forward to 2024, it is time to feel some happy vibe around the globe.
Have a lovely Christmas!
